It feels weird to someone who doesn’t struggle with this kind of stuff. To an 80yo it might feel like a relief. It’s not like the OP’s dad is going for CE, m8. He just wants to sit down, game something and feel like he beat Zalazane without dying.
I mean, we constantly make life accessible to people who can’t perform as young humans and no one is going “if you can’t go up the stairs, just don’t live in a 2-floor house!”. No, we invent the elevator chair. Because we’re human.
